A few notes about the sections above: * Create groups to organize the admin menu * Put less frequently used or advanced options in their own group * Hide unused items in the admin menu * Group related menu items ## Installation 1. Upload `plugin-name.php` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress 3. Setup your menu on the Admin Menu Groups settings page ## FAQ ### How do I organize my admin menu? After installing the plugin, navigate to the Admin Menu Groups settings page and reorder, hide or create groups as needed ### I hid the Admin Menu Groups item from the menu, how do I get it back? You can access the Admin Menu Groups settings page directly at `https://example. com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=admin-menu-groups` You can temporarily show all menu items in their original state by using the query string `?amg_reset`. e.g. `https://example.com/wp-admin/index.php?amg_reset` You can delete the entire Admin Menu Groups configuration by using the query string`? amg_hard_reset`. e.g. `https://example.com/wp-admin/index.php?amg_hard_reset` ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/5983a71d98b824fa9189a137e888ebb27ae1e2acf068b1be898cb21157ff198a? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great – exactly what I wanted.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-exactly-what-i-wanted-2/)󠁿 [kenmundell](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kenmundell/) December 2, 2024 Does an excellent job doing exactly what I wanted to, organize and group my admin menu. If I could ask for anything additional, the ability to disable icons on main level items added to the second level, and the ability to move items between levels, ie. move items from the third level to the second level. But overall, this solves exactly what I wanted to do. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/37e2e8f6006167b27039d45751f53e2980e8e50c117809a6d0c1c38cbb511317? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Life savier](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/life-savier/)󠁿 [Keith](https://profiles.wordpress.org/keithkhl/) August 21, 2024 1 reply Works w/ PHP 8.3 + WP6.6.1 Since references that I can find for WP core for menu items go back to early 2010, I don’t think this plugin has to be updated frequently. It does the job real quick. I super appreicate the dev’s effort on this. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/be472b028aa6ee8cab6679f7cc4cb519b0adfa0ba08bbfe1b97ca43478694429? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[CoLL !!!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/coll-5/)󠁿 [bllynx](https://profiles.wordpress.org/bllynx/) November 28, 2022 Super👍 ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/2a63489ad649eaf63787014fa0325bbac2f4f4a41a1b0548849fe703e5fd26c1? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[I always needed something like this](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-always-needed-something-like-this/)󠁿 [Génesis](https://profiles.wordpress.org/genesistoxical/) March 2, 2022 It works perfect.
